MACC raids firm of Muhyiddin's lawyers


MACC this morning raided the firm of lawyers acting for former prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin, according to a source close to the matter.

The source revealed that 12 officers from the anti-graft watchdog carried out the raid on law firm Rosli Dahlan Saravana (RDS).

The source alleged that MACC officers demanded the right to search and seize documents of the firm and that earlier on, the enforcement officers had also attempted to raid the law office of Chetan Jethwani & Co, which also acted for Muhyiddin.

The source pointed out that Rosli Dahlan, who is a partner of RDS, is the lead counsel for Bersatu and the opposition party's president Muhyiddin.

The source also noted that RDS is acting for Muhyiddin in the former premier's defamation suit against Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.

The source further claimed that there are concerns regarding the files related to these cases.

Malaysiakini has reached out to MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki for a response over the matter.

The portal has also sighted evidence of the raid at the law firm.

Later this afternoon, a second source confirmed that the MACC team already left the firm.

Malaysiakini has also reached out to counsel from Chetan Jethwani & Co for a response.

Both RDS and Chetan Jethwani & Co have represented Muhyiddin in his criminal court cases.
